Online Gallery Notes June 11, 2020

Thomas Kitts: "Apple Blossoms Descending" Sauvie Island, Oregon 12 x 16, oil on prepared panel en plein air + studio I hope this one conveys my ♥️ for Levitan.

Jeanie Bates: I think this is finished. 22 X 28, as yet to be titled. I'm open to suggestions.

My friends rented a beautiful house here. It was built, unbeknownst to them, in the 70s, without a permit, and no county record existed when my friends tried to buy it. Off NE Reeder Road.

Dear Alla Prima Portland,

Hello! My name is Natasha Luepke. I am the Arts Program Assistant at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg. In July, we host the Willamette Valley Lavender Festival and Paint Out. This year, the festival has been moved online.

In addition to moving the festival online, we are opening up registration for the paint out to anyone, with the theme "The Landscapes Around You." The only requirements are that artists pay the registration fee and create their painting en plein air, whether the subject be their backyard, a park, or some place else.

The submission deadline is July 11, 2020 and the exhibition will be online until August 31, 2020.

Please read the Call to Artists here: https://www.wvlavenderfestival.org/plein-air-pandemic-paint-out 

We also have a Facebook group for painters: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pppout/  

If you have any questions, please let me know! 

Sincerely, Natasha
